Skerries 100: Race Day Round Up

Skerries 100: Race Day Round Up

Under the circumstances, one has to have nothing but the upmost respect for Skerries 100 event organisers Loughshinny Motorcycle Club, for running a successful but obviously difficult race day for everyone.

Looking back on yesterdays race action, the dominant four stroke force of the meeting was Martin Jones Racing’s Michael Sweeney who held off strong challenges from Paul Jordan, Noel Williamson Racing’s Darren Cooper and new Wilson Craig Racing signing Daniel Mettam to claim Open Superbike, Supersport and Grand Final successes.

Twice Junior Manx GP winner Sweeney also went onto finish runner up in a gripping Super Twins race, which saw him just miss out on race victory by only 0.124 of a second, as local racer and fellow multi Manx GP rostrum finisher Andy Farrell claimed a popular victory.
